Toolset 5 – Evaluation

The final toolset provides guidance on testing Learning Activities in the classroom and evaluating their strengths and weaknesses. We call this a classroom pilot. Once you have created some innovative Learning Activities based on Future Classroom Scenarios (see Toolset 4), or selected some Learning Activities created by other teachers, and applied them in the classroom, the final step is to evaluate the challenges and benefits you and your learners have experienced.

Evaluation is used to gather and analyse evidence and information about the innovative teaching and learning process and its results. The results of the evaluation are fed back to inform future decisions about innovation in teaching and learning.
